Profile:
He made his Test debut even as the great spin quartet was breaking
up and, predictably enough, Shivlal Yadav faced uncharitable
comparisons with his illustrious predecessors. It was to the credit of
this stout hearted cricketer that he more than held his own and
commanded a more or less regular place in the Indian team till 1987.
At the time of his last Test, his overall figures compared favourably
with the best Indian spin bowlers.
An off spinner who possessed many fine qualities, Yadav was not afraid
to flight the ball. He was never a big turner of the ball but had
tremendous stamina, was steadiness personified and he was hardly ever
collared. He made a striking debut when in his first series against
Australia in 1979, he took 24 wickets in five Tests and his success
led to the exclusion of Venkatraghavan. He fitted in admirably with
Shastri and Doshi to form the spin trio of the early 80s. He lost his
place for a while but regained a spot when the West Indies toured
India in 1983-84, picking up five for 131 in the first innings of the
fourth Test at Bombay. He was overshadowed by L Sivaramakrishnan
against England in 1984-85 but was outstanding against Australia in
1985-86 picking up 15 wickets in the three Tests. This included a
match haul of eight wickets in the final game at Sydney when he almost
bowled India to victory. Used to long spells (he sent down 75 overs in
one innings against Pakistan at Faisalabad in 1984) Yadav bowled 95.3
overs in this match. He again did well against the Australians in the
return series in India in 1986-87 and later the same season registered
his best innings figures of five for 76 against Sri Lanka at
Nagpur. He did reasonably well in what turned out to be his last
series, against Pakistan later in the season and in his penultimate
Test took his 100th wicket. After retirement, Yadav has been prominent
in Hyderabad cricket administration. (Partab Ramchand)
